Description
Unimprovable 1835 V-7, LM-10
Bust Half Dime, MS68 ★
1835 H10C Small Date, Small 5C MS68 ★ NGC. V-7, LM-10, R.1.
This die marriage is very common, according to Logan and McCloskey
in Federal Half Dimes 1792-1837. In reality, this is
probably the single most common die variety of the year, and it is
generally available in all grades including Superb Gem Mint State.
It should not be assumed that an opportunity to acquire this
variety, or any Capped Bust half dime, in MS68 grade is an everyday
occurrence. In fact, NGC has certified just five examples at this
grade level for all 1835 varieties, and PCGS has only graded a
single coin as MS68. The additional Star designation means that
this is not only the single finest example of the date to be
certified at this grade level, but it is also the finest example of
the entire Capped Bust half dime series, with just one other coin,
dated 1831, certified as MS68 ★ by NGC.The obverse die was used only for this single die marriage, and this variety represents the first use of a reverse die that later appeared on the 1837 Small 5C die marriage. It is an intermediate die state with die cracks advanced but not fully developed. The surfaces are pristine and fully brilliant with frosty silver luster. The only blemishes or imperfections visible require magnification. This is an extraordinary example that will please the connoisseur. The only 1835 half dime to receive a grade of MS68 ★ from NGC, with none finer (3/09).
